Functionalized Organic Compounds-II

(Carbonyl Compounds, Carboxylic Acids and its Derivatives)

(Theory)

 

The students will be able to –

 

CO65: predict the reactivity of different carbonyl compounds (saturated and unsaturated aldehydes and ketones) and their methods of formation

CO66: outline the nucleophilic addition reaction mechanism for carbonyl compounds

CO67: recognize the mechanism and products in some name reactions following nucleophilic addition mechanism.

CO68: describe the acidity and reactivity of active methylene groups

CO69: discuss the synthesis of carboxylic acids and its derivatives from different substrates

CO70: analyze the factors of the relative acidities of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids by considering the inductive, resonance and steric effects on the neutral (conjugate acid) form and the anionic (conjugate base) form and compare with alcohols and phenols
